Gettin' up the banjo neck can be a scary thing. Trust me, it's gonna okay. Let me make it fun for you! I want you to somewhat "turn off" your brain for this one. Yes, you'll need to memorize where to put your fingers, but then I want you to just play it and play it and play it again! It'll pay off. Again, just trust me :)

    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.
